Selected Highlights from Research Findings
The South African national innovation survey project in the manufacturing and services industries has been completed and the final report is in preparation. Important findings include inter alia the extent to which South African firms are innovating, how different sectors in the economy compare in their innovativeness, how dependent South African firms are on foreign technology, R&D spending of South African firms, and how innovation has impacted on the business growth of firms. The findings will be used as input to future science and technology policy development.
